Carlin Yoder Signs “Taxpayer Protection Pledge”

Challenges Opponents to Join in Pledging to Never Support Tax Hikes

Goshen – Republican candidate for State Senate Carlin Yoder announced today that he has signed Americans for Tax Reform’s “Taxpayer Protection Pledge”. The pledge states: I, Carlin Yoder, pledge to the taxpayers of the 12^th District of this state, that I will oppose and vote against any and all efforts to raise taxes.

Yoder is the first candidate in the Republican Primary Election for Indiana’s State Senate District 12 to sign the pledge. “Taxpayers in the 12^th District deserve to know that I will be their biggest advocate in Indianapolis,” said Yoder. “I will never support a tax increase if elected to the Indiana State Senate and I hope my opponents will join me in signing this pledge to show the voters our district that they too will show leadership and backbone in protecting taxpayers in our district.”

“Much of what troubles me about the current debate in the state legislature regarding tax reform is that we have heard next to nothing from the politicians there about cutting wasteful and reckless spending at the state and local level,” said Yoder. “I will work to fight against wasteful spending in the legislature and in local government and work toward cutting senseless state mandates that hurt local governments and force them to raise taxes as well.”

Yoder was endorsed by State Representative Marlin Stutzman last week.
